What do you think the arts are worth? At Settlement, we think they're priceless; and so are the children who want nothing more than to play their favorite instrument, or learn to dance, or sing in a choir.
Your generosity will help make sure we can provide them with a high-quality education at a cost their families can afford. Please help us bring the arts to a child in need by making a gift today.
